LFC promoter Mick Maynard this week announced the bout, which tops
LFC 30 at Route 66 Casino Hotel in Holm’s hometown of
Albuquerque, N.M. The event airs live on AXS TV and will also see
onetime King of the Cage 145-pound ruler Donald
Sanchez take on Rio Heroes veteran Flavio
Alvaro in the co-main event.

Holm, 32, retired from boxing last year to focus on MMA full time,
posting four victories in 2013. The Jackson’s MMA rep scored two
knockout wins under the LFC banner and notched a unanimous decision
victory in her most recent bout, outpointing Angela Hayes
on Dec. 6 in Albuquerque.

Also 32, Werner rides a five-fight winning streak into her LFC
debut. The Brazilian began her career in 2005 but left the sport
for nearly five years after just her sixth fight. Werner reemerged
in September 2011 with a knockout victory and has since posted
three unanimous decision wins, most recently besting Deise Lee
Rocha this past August in Brazil’s Arena Force promotion.
